Tipperary woman is honoured for her work as a climate change ambassador

Tipperary farmer Ailbhe Gerrard has been awarded an outstanding achievement for her dedication as a Climate Ambassador in 2022 at this year’s Climate Ambassador Awards.

Ms Gerrard, who runs Brookfield Farm outside Coolbawn, Nenagh, is an educator with a deep interest in agriculture as a creative, holistic, regenerative, collaborative activity.

Field Exchange is a collaboration between the agricultural sector and arts sector in Ireland.

An exchange programme of creative agricultural topics including farm design, soil fertility and inclusion was facilitated on Brookfield Farm by Ailbhe.

Field Exchange engaged vision, knowledge and practical action to bring farmers, food producers, artists, experts and the interested public together to solve our urgent challenges.
